Dunlop CX200LS (2024)

The CX 200 LS puts the outstanding control and feel of the CX series into a light and user-friendly package. As with the heavier CX 200, this racquet combines a 98 square inch head with an open 16x19 string pattern and flexible 21.5mm box beam. As such, it's perfect for the rising intermediate player who wants a very speedy racquet with controllable power and great feel. For this update, Dunlop retools the beam, adding more of a box shape below the 10/2 axis to enhance stability, control and feel. Additional changes for 2024 include Powergrid Stringtech+, which features wider cross-string spacing to enhance spin and power. Dunlop also updates the stiffness profile, adding greater flexibility on the inner part of the frame for enhanced dwell time and pocketing, while also stiffening the racquet's face for added stability and power. To help reduce harsh impact vibrations, Dunlop adds a highly elastic material (named Vibroshield) to the midsection of both the hoop and shaft. This is complemented by Sonic Core with Infinergy, a uniquely pliable material applied to the 3/9 axis of the head to boost comfort and power. Ultimately, with its easy acceleration, great feel and controllable power, this is the perfect option for the improving player who wants the precision of a player's racquet without all the bulk.
